Integrated Care System

NCA combines the experience of clinicians, the input of patients and the organisational vision of NHS staff.

Cancer Alliances are non-statutory groups that exist to:

Support the delivery of the cancer transformation agenda laid out in in the Cancer Taskforce Strategy (2015) within the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care System (ICS)

How we fit in the system

The Northern Cancer Alliance covers the North East, North Cumbria, and Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby in North Yorkshire. This makes us co-terminous with both the North East and North Cumbria ICS and the Northern England Specialised Commissioning hub of NHS England.

NCA feed into the local governance arrangements of the North East and North Cumbria ICS and is the delivery arm of the ICS cancer transformation workstream.
